         Nice work ! :-)

        I'd be concerned about doing this on the the -4-0 branch; it also makes
it hard to see what changed there now we're frozen in a given module
between two git hashes.

        Having said that - it is something we really want to do; can we drop
the published easy hack bug in this regard (or just close it) to avoid
the drip of patches there ?

        I suggest we do it at a similar time to Norbert's onegit - ie. around
the 4.0.2 release or so - when the cross-branch cherry-picking starts to
reduce in frequency.

        Thanks,

                Michael.
